Shows worth the ticket

Mystere by Cirque du Soleil
Treasure Island (TI)

Mystere by Cirque du Soleil

The oldest Cirque show in town and the best value in the lineup. My pick for first-timers and families who refuse to overpay to test the waters.

O by Cirque du Soleil
Bellagio

O by Cirque du Soleil

The water show that made Cirque and Vegas synonymous, and still the one I hand first-timers. Pricey, unforgettable, worth the splurge.

KA by Cirque du Soleil
MGM Grand

KA by Cirque du Soleil

The most audacious stage in Vegas: a platform that tilts to a vertical wall. Thin on story, unreal on engineering. Book it for the tech, not the plot.
